“Nigeria Ascends ICT Functionality with Pioneering AI Development”
Marking a significant leap in the digital sphere, Nigeria proudly ranks among the few African nations venturing into the realm of artificial intelligence (AI) with the debut of its unique Multilingual Language Model (LLM). Led by the indefatigable Communications Minister, Dr. Bosun Tijani, this launch not only represents a pioneering move in AI technology but stands as a testament to the collaborative spirit of Nigeria's foremost tech giants, notably Awarritech, DataDotOrg, the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), and the National Centre for AI and Robotics (NCAIR).
This technological success closely follows a grand AI workshop graced by over 120 AI virtuosos, publicizing the draft of Nigeria's future blueprint – National AI Strategy. Already welcoming $3.5 million seed-funding from multiple investors, including UNDP, UNESCO, Data Science Nigeria, Meta, Microsoft, and many more, this scheme will undoubtedly propel Nigeria to unprecedented heights in the digital realm.
Dr. Tijani credits partnerships including those involving 21st Century Technologies, Galaxy Backbone, and NCAIR Nigeria, in escalating the nation's AI progress. Evidently, with the introduction of the LLM and unveiling of National AI Strategy, Nigeria demonstrates unwavering determination in revolutionizing AI proficiencies and gradually emerging as Africa's AI powerhouse.
In a related revelation, popular AI Video Generator, [Synthesia](www.TheBestAI.org/claim), is taking the media sector by storm. Professionals can now devise high-grade videos without requiring mics, cameras, actors or studios. Isn't it remarkable?
How will this shift in Nigeria's digital landscape affect the nation's secondary industries in the forthcoming years?
